Oreo Truffles

A few years ago, an intern brought these to work and I almost fainted. They are good. Seriously yummy.
Last night, I made a batch to take to Jennifer's holiday party. Everyone asked me for the recipe and they are just so easy!

Ingredients:
1 package Oreos (original ones. not the weird ones they put out nowadays)
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1 package Almond Bark
4 oz dark chocolate

Directions:
In a large food processor, grind the oreos until they are dust!Add the cream cheese to the dust. Word to the wise - don't just throw the brick in there - you will get pretty frustrated! cut it up and push it into the dust with a spatula. Run the processor until no white traces of cream cheese remain.
Roll walnut sized balls and put on a cookie sheet.
Place them in the freezer for about an hour. This will keep them from falling apart when you dip them.
This part is tricky to me. If someone comes across an easy way, do tell!
Almond Bark - this stuff can be a little frustrating. Cook it too fast, it scalds and turns into hard goo. I found the best way is to follow the microwave instructions on the package, not the stove top part.
Take a small spoon and put the oreo mixture on the spoon and then submerge in the melted almond bark. You want to get a nice coating on here. Place back on the cold cookie sheet.
Once all the balls are dipped, melt the dark chocolate.
Artfully drizzle over the dipped oreo balls.
And that's it.
Seriously.
